Re: William Brown Fulkerson/IL and KS

I am only distantly related to William Brown Fulkerson, but do have some info on him - his father James Frederick was an older brother to my direct ancestor Richard Fulkerson.I only have record of 8 children, so I would love to know if there were more, so I can add them to my records.I have his first wife Mary Whitesides, daughter of John B. and Margaret (Sbarger) Whitesides, b 30 May 1840 in Pope Co. IL and d 23 Jan 1878 in Stockton, Rooks Co, KS.He then married Mary Elizabeth Lovell Brockman on 21 July 1878.I suspected that since she had what appeared to be two last names, she may have been married before, so maybe she had children of her own.I never looked into it though.I have James Frederick's father and mother as Richard and Gracie (Cowsert) Fulkerson.Richard's father was Frederick Fulkerson.I have found several people who have the family tied back several hundred years to the Netherlands, but have never seen any documentation for that.
